Pit Droid Ponderings
#1
I got drawn off onto a tangent the other morning and started musing about the details of pit droids. I poked around in the films and did some screen captures to use as reference, but I thought I'd start a thread so other folks could contribute if they know of new or better information that I may miss.


I decided to start with the head. This is one of the images I captured:

Though the image isn't as clear as I'd like (I'm still using DVDs for my captures. Those Blurays are expensive!) it can be seen fairly clearly, I think, the slope of the dome of the head. Also, you can see that the trim piece around the outside of the dome follows the curvature of the dome.
Lastly, though it can't be made out in detail, it can be seen that the stuff on the underside of the head is a bit more complex than what is shown in most non-motion picture sources (books, toys, etc) so I'm going to have to keep searching for a good image of where the head attaches to the neck.

This image lends some idea, but it's too dark to be of much help beyond a general impression. It shows some other things clearly, though, like the ring on the bottom of the eye cylinder that's only on the lower half.

Little bit of contrast manipulation helps, but it's still pretty vague.
